Subject2.6.24-rc4-mm1: hostbyte=0x01 driverbyte=0x00 (now bisected)
FromAlexey Dobriyan <>
>  git-scsi-misc.patch
Apologies for not looking into the problem earlier. See
http://marc.info/?t=119628022300005&r=1&w=2
"2.6.24-rc3-mm2: Result: hostbyte=0x01 driverbyte=0x00\nend_request: I/O error"
for previous installment.
I've bisected it to the following patch in git-scsi-misc branch.
Revert on top of 2.6.24-rc4-mm1 also helps.

commit 8655a546c83fc43f0a73416bbd126d02de7ad6c0
Author: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>

    [SCSI] Do not requeue requests if REQ_FAILFAST is set

    Any requests with the REQ_FAILFAST flag set should not be requeued
    to the requeust queue, but rather terminated directly.
    Otherwise the multipath failover will stall until the command
    timeout triggers.
